An "old" Internet hand (but probably only about 28 today) contacted me about my previous post about MySpace.com. Matt Ragas of "RagingBull" and "FindProfit" fame as well as a book or two, emailed me the following thought:

Does MySpace = GeoCities after being acquired by Yahoo for $3.5B stock back in 1999? Would be interesting for someone to compare the traffic/popularity of GeoCities back at its peak, which I know you remember (the craze for free webpage builders, GeoCities, Tripod, Angelfire, theglobe.com, Xoom etc.) to what has happened since. Not saying this same thing happens to MySpace, and there's much better ways to monetize traffic today, but it has happened before. Today it's MySpace, YouTube and Facebook, next year will bring a new consumer Web star.

Well put Matt. And Good Luck in your new ventures.
